Kimarie Chartier here- 43. I live in Canyon Country /Newhall area , Southern California. I have always been an artist . I started drawing at age two. My Mother said when I was a child I always had something to draw with in hand and I would cry when the paper ran out (LOL) ..I went to art school for a short while and have taught art to elementry school kids. I have done many oil paintings , pastels and watercolors , but recently , have been intrigued with digital photography and computer photo art in paint shop pro. now, I mainly work in Paint shop pro 7 and 11. I now also just beginning to work in ADobe photoshop cs2 ! I also am a full time Mom with three girls ( who are all over my gallery) Annie 16, Janel 13, and Christina 10. Between my parenting, photoshoots, Renderosity and playing in paint shop/ photoshop I keep very busy ! I also have a sweet, loving cocker spaniel named Candi who is very needy of much love and attention lol She goes with me on photoshoots-oh- 'cept when I am shooting birds haha cause she is a bird hunter by nature!!
 I LOVE any kind of art .like to draw and paint with basically anything I can get my hands on (LOL)!
I have fallen in love with photography
opening up light and dark and seeing the limitless possiblities! But I do still love to paint too!!  Works like Nightfears , came from nothing but my immagination -drawing/ painting with only a mouse paint and smudge tools from a blank page in paintshop 7. I started out with a Nikon 7900 pocket cam and am at the moment working in photography..now also have two other canon pocket cams a sl900
and sx 100is - mainly all my work in my gallery is done with my little pocket cams - they go with me everywhere and is an an extention of my right hand!! I have a canon rebel as well but it isnt working all that great so manly using the pocket cams for now . Learning..growing and sharing on here is the best!! I don't know what I would do without this site it has helped me learn so much..( this site motivates me so much ) I love it here ! yeah so I got the photography bug ..and I also love to do photo art...!! I, every now and then I will do a painting or a smudging as I call it.( you can see most of my smudge painting works hand done with a mouse on the first two pages of my gallery!!)

Awwwww!!!! What a heartbreaking story Kimmie. Sooo moving. Even though you say you cant put it into words....i still think you did just that. Had quite an impact on me at least. Beautiful words to go with such a beautiful photo. I really love them saturated colors and those sunrays look incredible. What a wonderful upload, purely wonderful. Have a terrific monday my friend. #:O)

It seems to be a great picture but 145 kpix is a little bit "poor" to get a correct idea... Anyway, great colors!

Beautiful capture of this ray of beauty sending down a message to smile. One of the joys of having good memories is that its a gift for you to be passed down to your kids. Sharing the feeling of love is good. Aloha

A magic sky for a special remember, I've been touching by your words Kimmers, and your emotion is also mine. All those remembers are precious, even if they hurts us. I hope one day we could think to all theses moments without cry and suffer, but I don't know if it's possible... Thank you to share this emotion with us Kimmers, and take care of you. Hugs.

Oh what a deep feeling story and what a glorious taken photography with this so heartbreaking background, Kimmie! I think the emotion you had to go through between the need of the kids and the Memories of your Dad cannot be described! Kimmie I know such a beautiful sky can open emotions which cannot be explained! It can cause a positive or a negative reaction! The thoughts between yourself and to a beloved person feels like a thorn in the heart! So I fully understand your decision! Maybe a next time if you can see a blue sky only the emotion is completely different and you will enjoy the ride together with your kids! Oh Kimmie, I love this scene with this heart feeling background! **

I really like the sunrays cutting through the clouds and the silhouette of the building in front. Did you saturate the colors a bit, they are very rich. :0)
